Key Features:
- Hybrid Construction
- Durable hard shell with a ventilated top
- Lightweight In-Mold lower section and side walls
- Spherical Technology™
- Adjustable Thermostat Control™ ventilation—enables instant airflow adjustment via a simple, low-profile control button on the outside of the helmet
- In Form™ 2 Fit System—lighter and with a lower profile than the original, making it even easier to adjust the goggles in seconds, even with gloves on.
- On-the-fly Vertical Tuning—adapts to different glasses and head shapes, providing a gap-free fit.
- EN1077 certification
- Articulating VIVID lens shield with ZEISS® optics
- Compatible with glasses
- Seamlessly Integrated System—the seamlessly integrated VIVID shield is placed under the helmet visor, utilizing Stack Vent technology. It is designed to fit snugly against the face, preventing wind and snow from entering the helmet while eliminating fogging.
- Articulated Shield—the VIVID shield easily extends and retracts over the helmet. It is securely positioned at the top of the helmet and provides a perfect fit to the face when in the lowered position.

Helmet Technology Index:
SPHERICAL TECHNOLOGY™
Spherical Technology, powered by Mips®, is an enhancement and evolution of the Multi-Directional Impact Protection System (Mips). With this sophisticated design, two layers of foam fit together like a ball and socket. This system helps protect the brain from rotational energy, allowing relative movement of 10–15 millimeters between the helmet and head during the first milliseconds of impact. Developed at the Bell + Giro Dome in collaboration with Mips®, the patented Spherical Technology with ball-and-socket technology shifts impact forces while combining market-leading design, performance, and brain protection without sacrificing comfort, ventilation, weight, or style.
MIPS EQUIPPED
Mips® can provide greater protection in certain impacts. The key components of a Mips-equipped helmet include an inner foam liner, low-friction padding, and an elastomeric attachment system. Upon an angled impact, the elastomeric attachment system stretches, allowing the foam liner to rotate independently around the head.
CONFORM FIT TECHNOLOGY
The fully integrated Conform Fit system uses a two-part shell that literally adapts to the shape of the head, expanding and contracting with the turn of a dial. It is a truly adaptive design, equipped with durable yet semi-flexible EPP construction that provides the lowest fitting profile we have ever created, along with unmatched comfort.
HYBRID CONSTRUCTION
Hybrid Construction combines a durable, ventilated Hard Shell upper with an In-Mold lower shell and sidewalls for added protection and style. With Hybrid Construction, the helmet is reinforced to provide extra durability while remaining lightweight. Hybrid Construction also features impact-absorbing and lightweight EPS foam padding.
D2 CONSTRUCTION
D2 Construction combines two densities of polypropylene foam (EPP) to handle both high- and low-energy impacts. Additionally, EPP offers impressive resilience—this compressible foam recovers its shape and retains some of its protective properties after multiple impacts.
IN-MOLD CONSTRUCTION
In-Mold construction fuses a durable polycarbonate outer shell with the helmet’s impact-absorbing foam liner. The bonding process allows for better ventilation systems, making In-Mold helmets lighter and cooler than traditional helmets.
HARD SHELL CONSTRUCTION
Hard Shell Construction produces excellent helmets at a great price. The durable outer shell is molded and then attached to an EPS foam liner.
IN FORM 2 FIT SYSTEM
The In Form 2 system is lighter and has a lower profile than the original, making it even easier to fit in seconds—even with gloves on. The updated On-The-Fly Vertical Tuning feature adjusts to different goggles and head shapes, providing a gap-free fit.
PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE VENTING SYSTEM
The discreet design of the external vent and internal channels (including the liner and padding) work together to ensure optimal airflow and temperature regulation. This automatic venting technology manages airflow and temperature movement while riding, hiking, or standing still.
THERMOSTAT CONTROL™
The thermostat-controlled ventilation allows for immediate airflow adjustment using a simple, low-profile control button on the outside of the helmet. No other system is faster or easier to adjust, and nothing is more effective in providing comfort.
STACK VENT
Our Stack Vent was developed based on research showing that most of the warm air that can cause fogging escapes from the central upper vent hole of the goggles. Aligning the Stack Vent in the helmet with the goggle vent helps keep them clear and fog-free.
FIDLOCK® MAGNETIC BUCKLE CLOSURE
The pressure-free, one-handed Fidlock® Magnetic Snap buckle for the helmet combines the benefits of two fastening concepts in a completely innovative way. Strong magnets make it easy to open and close, while the secure snap feature ensures continuous locking force.
Giro was founded over 30 years ago by Jim Gentes, a man obsessed with design and fulfilling unmet needs. This obsession led him to start producing his own products, ultimately resulting in the establishment of a company dedicated to serving cyclists through personal expression and advanced performance. Our world has dramatically changed over the past three decades, but Giro remains unwaveringly committed to serving enthusiastic cyclists. We are and always will be a product-driven brand. We argue for weeks over differences of less than a millimeter in shoe lasts, head shapes, or the beveled edge of a vent hole. We are a brand that pays attention to detail. From the entry price of a helmet to the fit and material of our jerseys to the satisfying click the Switchblade makes when it snaps under your chin. This attention to detail is what sets Giro apart. We understand that cycling is more than a fleeting hobby or passing trend. Cycling is the best part of a great life, and your gear deserves to be attended to in the smallest details. That’s why you’re always climbing. That’s why we do what we do. As long as you strive for faster, bigger, and better, we will continue to create gear that takes you there.
